Submit via Job

[Former Member]

Hello all

I m creating a program to delete old entries from tables.This can be done

1. Foreground

2. Background

I have created 2 reports

Report A - MAin report

Report B -has the following stmts

REPORT b.

DATA: i_JOBCOUNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,

i _JOBNAME LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBNAME .

SUBMIT A AND RETURN

USER SY-UNAME

VIA JOB I_JOBNAME NUMBER I_JOBCOUNT

.

In the background option of report A I have used

job_open with jobname as Report A.

Submit B

user sy-uname

via jobname jobnumber

and return.

Job_close

with jobname, jobnumbr and start immediately = 'x'.

Now when I execute this pgm with foreground option,

I get the records deleted from the table

but the same does not happen in background option.

kindly guide me.

Thanks

Hi

Why don't you run the report A directly in background mode?

Anyway your report should be:

va_jobname = <REPORT B>
  
  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
       EXPORTING
            JOBNAME          = VA_JOBNAME
       IMPORTING
            JOBCOUNT         = VN_JOBCOUNT
       EXCEPTIONS
            CANT_CREATE_JOB  = 1
            INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
            JOBNAME_MISSING  = 3
            OTHERS           = 4.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    SUBMIT <REPORT A> USER SY-UNAME
                      VIA JOB VA_JOBNAME NUMBER VN_JOBCOUNT
                      AND RETURN.
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
       EXPORTING
            JOBCOUNT             = VN_JOBCOUNT
            JOBNAME              = VA_JOBNAME
            STRTIMMED            = 'X'  
       EXCEPTIONS
            CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1
            INVALID_STARTDATE    = 2
            JOBNAME_MISSING      = 3
            JOB_CLOSE_FAILED     = 4
            JOB_NOSTEPS          = 5
            JOB_NOTEX            = 6
            LOCK_FAILED          = 7
            OTHERS               = 8.

  IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    MESSAGE E999 WITH TEXT-E05.
  ENDIF.   
 ENDIF.

Hi max

I believe that would call report A recursively.

Thanks Tharani

Hi,

Why do you need 2 programs ? Same program can run both in Foreground & Background. Please explain your question in detail.
